Rotoworld on the Boston Globe’s Jefferson for Amare rumor:
An NBA executive told the Boston Globe Wednesday that the Timberwolves are working on a deal to send Al Jefferson and their sixth pick in the NBA Draft to the Suns for Amare Stoudemire.
We’re not sure what to think about this one, as Jefferson is one of the league’s most promising young stars, and Stoudemire’s knees are a huge concern going forward. Jefferson’s knee is also a concern, but when you throw in the No. 6 pick in the draft, it doesn’t seem to make too much sense

The Timberwolves, who called a news conference Wednesday to confirm it all, were cool about it.
“I don’t want Kevin to feel badly about that,” Minnesota vice president of basketball David Kahn said. “We live in a very different world than all of us grew up in. I don’t think it’s a big deal.”

David Kahn said he has no list of coaching candidates — not even one scribbled on the back of a napkin — and says he won’t begin to compile one until the draft is over eight days from now. So…to get him started, here’s my list of possibilities, totally from left-field but all of them with a connection to Kahn or a reason for being on there...
